(21,046 posts)It was a joke and inaccurate slut shaming. Showed us movies that implied you could get VD from being sneezed on and virgins could get VD. Movie of Ann Landers telling us if a boy got in your pants he would throw you away like kleenex. If you kissed on a date you were a bad person. This was in the early 1970s. Shameful excuse for sex ed. I don't remember any facts. Just lies intended to scare you.

My now 23 yr old son had no idea that Dick had once been a very common nickname for Richard. This came to my attention when a Dick's Sporting Goods store opened near us when he was about 10. He looked at the store sign in great shock and wanted to know, "Why would anyone name a store THAT?"
Those were the most boring books, even when I was only 6.
